Pakistani soldiers killed in cross border fire from Afghanistan

TALIBAN/PAKISTAN 30/08/2021
Gunfire from across the Afghan border have killed two Pakistani soldiers in the first such attack since the Taliban took over Kabul 14 days ago.

Pakistani Army said it retaliated and killed two or three attackers, a claim not verifiable because the tribal districts along the Afghan border are off-limits to journalists and human rights organisations.

The incident in Pakistan’s Bajaur district is the first of its kind reported since the Taliban took over Kabul on August 15.
